Jupiter is quite large, but to be a brown dwarf star (the smallest type of Star) it would have to weigh 13 times what it currently does - so still some ways off from properly being our Sun’s failed companion!

Hello Dr. Vriesema! Thank you for doing this AMA. I’m curious about how you incorporate computation into your study of giant planetary science. For example, do you make simulations of weather patterns on Jupiter?
